    LOOOOOOOVE this place so much! I discovered this spot quite by accident when I was attending university in Vancouver. My boyfriend at the time and I went on a mission for tomato soup and amazingly happened to find Harvest and THE BEST tomato soup! Now, years later, I'm so thrilled that it's still here and the tomato soup is even better than I remember it. Worth coming all the way up from California for! Plus the sandwiches are all equally delicious! They can even make every sandwich vegan and their daal soup is also vegan. There's a reason why this place is a favorite with the locals. Rami, the guy who runs it, is there every day pouring love into the kitchen. You can tell the restaurant is a full of passion and it really makes a difference. I love their attention to detail, with everything from the pickle to the tea selection! This is a must visit for locals and tourists alike.

    Roast Beef Sandwich

    Ordered a roast beef sandwich and bottled lemonade. I was expecting an independent sandwich shop to use better quality or fresh sandwich meat but its like they got it from a safeway. The meat distribution was lazy too with it just folded in the middle of the bread so there was no meat near the sides. Other than that the bread was great the sauce (sundried tomato pesto mayo) was great and they didnt overload the sandwich with it. Excellent selection of soda/drinks to go along with the more independent feel of the shop. I enjoyed the cherry lemonade even if it wasnt made in house. The service wasnt great. When i walked in the employees chilling in the kitchen for over 2 minutes while i waited at the counter to be served. Once they came up i did not feel welcome like they didnt really want to be working there and wanted to get back to the kitchen asap so they could talk. I had high expectations based on reviews and was sorely dissapointed. I will not return and i'd recommend either they source better quality sandwich meats or make it in house. 6/10

    BAM. Bacon avocado.

    I love this place. Been coming here for years. We need more like them. So charming and hardworking. Excellent quality sandwiches. Just the best and tastiest and so much variety! And just perfect to wash down with some ice tea.

    I think I've got this figured out. Really, I do. I'm pretty much a Montreal smoked meat rookie, and now having tried it various ways, meaning: 1. On some regular untoasted bread with mustard or, 2. Jazzed up in some way or another, and on something toasted. #2 is the clear winner for me. The taste is just *that* much better, IMHO. It wasn't the meat that made it for me, but the sandwich overall. Mr Montreal piles on the meat, with Swiss cheese, Dijon mustard on toasted bread, and it make the sandwich much, much better. Yay. Everything is made in front of you while you wait. There's minimal seating with a couple of the IKEA bistro table sets and a large communal table. They have multiple types of sandwiches to choose from. I know I'll be coming back for some sourdough thing of some sort at some point in time. In the back, there are some basic groceries for sale. BTW, you know you're in Kits when Lululemon clad clientel walks through the door in a pack. Cash only.

    Shadow sandwich with vegan chili!

    Had the most amazing lunch at harvest! Rose was so helpful and recommended the chili which was delicious. Harvest deli has a great atmosphere and would totally recommend. The best sandwiches in all of Vancouver!!

    #14 Classic Reuben and #17 Who is it?
    Lea M.

    Excellent sandwich place! Once you walk in, you'll see the menu on the wall and see how much variety of sandwhiches they have here. The place looked quite cozy and inviting. We tried #14 classic reuben and #17 who is it. The sandwhiches were pretty meaty and delicious. Everything tasted fresh - no complaints with the sandwiches. Also, the prices were pretty reasonable. I think it would be pretty handy if they had a drink menu. I noticed they had a coffee machine and other drinks in their display but I wasn't quite sure what else they had. Overall, pretty awesome place to grab a nice fresh delicious sandwhich!

    #35
    April H.

    This place is full of regulars for a reason. I tried #35 "Back to Athens" and it was really good! Initially was nervous about the turkey being a little pink, and instead of being annoyed with me, the owner explained the cooking process and offered to make me a new one just to appease my stress about it. I felt really bad, but he was friendly and happy to do it. The owner seems to take pride into what he does, and there is a reason why so many people come back for more. Next time I will try one of the specials on the board.

    Corned Beef & Sour dough
    Judy J.

    Dropped by this place the other day and tried one of their corned beef sandwiches. Decent sized. Enough for me to enjoy lunch the next day. Generous serving of meat nestled between two slices of toasted sour dough, accompanied with a pickle slice. Next time, I will be sure to try some soup with half sandwich.

    I live four blocks from Harvest Deli and have now eaten ten sandwiches from this tiny Kitsilano deli. In fact, I am eating a BAM right now, and honestly think it may be the best sandwich I have ever had: grilled and buttered sourdough, generous amounts of crispy bacon, ripe avocado, caramelised onions, arugula, melted aged cheddar, and russian dressing. It is super super awesome. I just turned to my girlfriend to ask her to contribute to this review, but her BAM disappeared after the first sentence. Amazingly good. Each sandwich is made to order and the ingredients are very very fresh, and thoughtfully composed. The owner also makes two soups fresh every day, and service is prompt and polite. I lived in the UK for several years, and there are sandwich shops in every neighbourhood. Whether it is due to VanCity's fear of carbs, or due to our city's eclectic tastes and wide variety of ethnic options, Vancouver has surprisingly few delis and sandwich shops. When done right, a sandwich is the perfect food, and HD has restored my passion for these simple yet satisfying snacks. I have a few minor criticisms. Their multigrain bun is fairly dense and detracts from the delicious fillings within. Also, the business has been working on its branding and signage for about a year, and this gives the shop a "temporary" and slightly unprofessional feel. There are over two dozen sandwich options, but the menu is a bit confusing and wordy. Once you know how to navigate through it, everything is fine and scrumptious...but I was intimidated by it the first time I explored it. Nitpicking aside, I am a HUGE fan and a bi-weekly supporter of Harvest Deli. Mmmmmmm. PS - A good tactic to tackle HD's massive menu: bring a buddy, order two sandwiches, and then split them. BAM!

    "When meaty sandwiches become an art form" Tucked within the bundle of shops along the Broadway neighbourhood streetwalk in Kits, you'll find Harvest Deli. Quaint and clean, this is the place to go to feel satisfied in a meaty, healthy sense. If I could describe my sandwich experience (#20 Inside --), I would say: - meaty, filling and lean - crafted with TLC to a point where you know the owner was very thorough and meticulous in his preparation - healthy and satisfying I can see why it's a hit with the Kits crowd, but it's worth a try even for guys who like some good grub! What's more: - they do all day breakfast for $10-12

    Single employee rockin it!

However, I'm not sure, but I think there's been a recent change in ownership (August 2023??), so I cannot comment on whether the current fresh food offerings are the same calibre. But, they've reorganized the layout a bit, and they're definitely more focused on Eastern European offerings with lots of frozen, fresh and shelf stable options. I was very happy to see that they still have the same vacuum sealed smoked chicken and ribs, and they seem to have a wider assortment of frozen pierogies and pelmeni than typically available in grocery stores. Hopefully the woman with the magical savoury baked goods is still there to make her delectable items!

    Yesterday after failing to find skin-on turkey breast elsewhere I phoned and ordered a whole turkey…read morebreast, skin on, and paid a deposit of $20. All good - head out and ask my husband to pick it up. While I shop for other things. After several minutes of confusion from the staff, he's finally handed an enormous wrapped parcel and charged $104. He's shocked but figures he better get it. Now I don't know if we could have returned it at this point, but when I saw Safeway only had a small, single breast (for $13.99) I figured I'd go with what appeared to be a very large double / full breast. Getting home I unwrap a bloody, netted roll of turkey that turns out to be one skin-on breast that has the meat partially separating from the skin, very unevenly and poorly removed from the bone, plus approximately 8 skinless breasts of various sizes. I'm already anxious enough about making a massive and complex meal and now I have an extremely expensive pile of basically crap as my centrepiece. Wonderful. Suggest if you buy from them do it in-store and watch what you're getting. I suspect they had a trainee and rolled their unsalable poorly cut breasts into a giant 'sucker' package for whoever phoned in a turkey order. I certainly won't support this business again, which pisses me off because I sure don't love supporting Galen and the other monopolies. Feeling incredibly ripped off and gullible for trusting which also sucks for us as a society. I was very clear in my order that I was expecting both sides of the breast with skin on (I asked twice) from a roughly 5-6 kilo turkey. Guess I'm just bitter as I lie awake stressing about presenting a hacked up small pile of turkey to my guests. Damn Tango's, you did me dirty.

The furniture looks nice but some is better quality than others. Our high top table was wobbly. Better signage is needed for the deli and sandwich section. Some things were missing prices/labels. When I came with a friend, the place was fairly busy. The staff and friendly. However, they are not experienced. It is clear they have not worked in food and beverage previously. There is a water and condiment station, but the cups for the water are so small, and they are plastic. I'm not sure why they don't just have plastic tumbler cups since they have real tableware for purchased food anyway. There is compostable cutlery, which is better than plastic. But again, why not have real cutlery since the cups and plates are all real dishes? The compostable cutlery is also very difficult to use with some of their items as it's just not sturdy enough. The compostable should be saved for to go orders. In terms of the food, they use good ingredients. The sandwiches also came with a side of artichokes dip/spread, which was a nice touch. On the other hand, they claimed to have heated up the sandwiches, which was definitely NOT the case as the sandwich was cold and the cheese was not even close to melting. Because the sandwich was cold and they used thicker bread, the bread was tougher than it needed to be. They claimed there was a preset timer and that they had grilled or pressed it. Well, the timer must have been for 3 seconds since it did nothing to the sandwich, and I don't believe their claim as there were zero grill marks on the bread. They need to have a proper panini press, and staff need to be trained in it. There is a large selection of dessert and sandwiches, and they also have soup and pasta and then sliced meats at the deli. Some sandwiches were not available even though we came at 130pm, e.g., veggie, prosciutto. We saw more sandwiches that were prepared on a try that was behind the deli, but they were not restocked into the window/case where you ordered. Additionally, the deli was "closed for cleaning"; I'm not sure what that meant as no one was cleaning, and it wasn't apparent that the deli was dirty. Plus. The meats were all sitting in the glass case. Considering, they had three staff and no line. The whole situation of the sandwiches and deli made no sense. Prices are reasonable for what you get and are comparable to other cafes The place has a lot of potential, but there is also a lot of competition in the area, and I think some areas need improvement.
